Herschel Supply Surf

Frequently Asked Questions

• What materials and construction techniques do Herschel surf bags use to protect boards during travel?

  Herschel builds surf gear from durable All Season double-ripstop and 100% recycled polyester with a TPE coating and tarpaulin liner to resist water and abrasion. Protective foam padding, a tear-resistant base, and board-specific sizing (e.g., Surfboard Sleeve All Purpose 6’, Hybrid 6'6") add impact protection and secure fit during transit.
• How does Herschel incorporate sustainability into its surf lineup?

  Many Herschel surf packs and bags use post-consumer recycled polyester and fabrics made from recycled plastic bottles, and several styles feature recycled ripstop constructions. These recycled materials are paired with durable coatings and liners so the gear maintains performance while reducing environmental footprint.
• Which Herschel surf bag should I choose for a short local session versus long-haul travel?

  For short sessions and board-to-car runs, the Surfboard Sleeve All Purpose 6’ or an Ultralight ripstop sleeve gives low-bulk protection and easy carry; for longer trips, the Surfboard Travel Bag Hybrid 6'6" (fits two Hybrid boards) or the All Purpose 7' travel bag offers extra padding, compression straps, and capacity for accessories. Choose by board length and whether you need multi-board capacity or more protective padding for airline or rough-transit conditions.
• What organization and carry features do Herschel surf backpacks and duffels offer for surf trips?

  Herschel packs like the Winlaw (22L) and Roll Top (22.5L) include laptop sleeves, internal mesh pockets, and front pockets for quick access, while the Miller adds external bottle pockets and the Strand duffel provides a slim, boxy shape for gear. Compression straps, seatbelt-webbing handles, and slip-resistant tabs keep boards and accessories secure and easy to load.
• How does Herschel blend surf culture into the design of its surf-oriented gear?

  Herschel pairs functional surf-ready construction with surf-inspired aesthetics—Hoffman California prints, vintage '80s motifs, leather pulls, and classic colorways appear across sleeves, travel bags, and backpacks. The brand’s surf lineup balances practical features (water-resistant liners, padded interiors) with cultural details that nod to coastal heritage.
